I cannot ever find a way
to throw these darkened thoughts away,
Need no place to hide.
It's thrown in my face everyday,
'cause it's the price I have to pay
for what's inside my mind

I am alive

You give 'em to me everyday.
That's okay, that's how I like to play.
They're not first in line.
What's in my head, I didn't say.
It's something, I can't run away,
What's inside my mind.

I am alive

I am alive.
I will never run away,
Places inside,
My heart screams inside with pride.
Once I cry,
Now I wipe away the tears.
Once I die,
Now I'm alive.

Alive!

I cannot ever find a way,
to throw these darkened thoughts away.
Need no place to hide.
It's thrown in my face every day,
'cause it's the price I have to pay
for what's inside my mind.

I am alive.
I will never run away.
Places inside,
My heart screams inside with pride
Once I cry
Now I wipe away the tears,
Once I die,
Now I'm alive.

Black
by Pearl Jam

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay,
were spread out before me, as her body once did,
All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun,
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn,
Oh, and all I taught her was..everything,
Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore,
And now my bitter hands, shake beneath the clouds,
Of what was everything,
Oh the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything,
I take a walk outside, Im surrounded by some kids at play,
I can feel their laughter so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head,
Im spinning, oh Im spinning,
How quick the sun can, drop away,
And now my bitter hands, cradle broken glass,
Of what was everything,
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything,
All the love gone bad, turned my world to black,
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that Ill be.
...
I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star,
In somebody else's sky, but why, why cant it be mine?
...
(some live versions only)
I don't think these people are listening,
No their not listening,
We belong....We belong together.....together...we belong...together...

Fade To Black
by Metallica

Life it seems, will fade away,
Drifting further every day,
Getting lost within myself,
Nothing matters, no one else.
I have lost the will to live,
Simply nothing more to give.
There is nothing more for me,
Need the end to set me free.

Things are not what they used to be,
Missing one inside of me,
Deathly lost, this cant be real,
Cannot stand this hell I feel.
Emptiness is filling me,
To the point of agony.
Growing darkness, taking dawn,
I was me, but now he's gone.

No one but me can save myself, but its too late.
Now, I cannot even think, think why I should even try.

Yesterday seems as though it never existed,
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye.
